I believe the name for this Levothyroxine has changed. Could someone please enlighten me as to what, if anything, it has changed to. My son is in hospital for a broken ankle and hospital want to know. Medications have been the biggest problem so far and after stressing on the importance that he does not have anything with Acacia Powder in it, they then go and give him Mercury Pharma Levo.
As we have to leave in the next couple of hours to visit, a quick answer would be much appreciated.
